Pivotshare, an Irvine digital media startup, said it has received $1 million in equity investment from Townsgate Media, an early-stage technology and media investor.

Pivotshare has a one-stop platform that offers infrastructure, support and payment acceptance for digital content publishers.

Among its target markets are entertainers who want to control distribution of their performances, public speakers and life coaches who sell content through a branded channel, conferences that want to sell event footage and consultants who want to add another revenue stream for their teaching.
